Would you like to learn the basics of the Google Products? Want to know how to efficiently use the products to increase your productivity and help students “Work Smarter, Not Harder”?

This one-day workshop will go through the basics in Gmail, Calendar and Google Drive. Participants will learn (through hands-on activities) the joy of improved comfort level with these products and how to use them effectively.

Come prepared to walk away with several new tips or tricks to help maneuver Google products and implement new tools immediately!

Target Audience: This workshop is appropriate for any educators who work in a school district that has Google Apps for Education and work with students using Google products and Chromebooks. We will be using the Chrome Browser and show you ways to make each of these products work together.

Note: CVEDC has Chromebooks available for use that day, although you might prefer to bring your own device
